Suit says Georgia violates voter registration law

Two civil rights groups have filed a federal lawsuit that alleges Georgia has violated the National Voter Registration Act by failing to provide registration services at state public assistance offices.

The suit was filed by the Georgia State Conference of the NAACP and the Coalition for the Peoples' Agenda against Secretary of State Brian Kemp and Department of Human Services Commissioner Clyde Reese. It contends thousands of low-income citizens are being denied the opportunity to register to vote when they apply for benefits or change their addresses.
